Dong Yi (Korean Drama w. English Sub. 9-DVD Set, All region DVD version)

I didn't have time to try the DVDs and i am trying now since I am asked to post a review. I am glad I was asked. Mac BlueRay ray player doesn't read the discs, only VLC will. The titles of the DVDs are just numbers. It is really weird. Definition is terrible on my 30" screen (which is quite normal due to the format) but perfect on my portable 11" Multi-zone DVD/BD player though. I will try to convert the discs to high definition but not sure of the result. Anyway, I am not extremely happy with the way the series has been ripped on DVDs but at least, I can watch it. They are too many DVDs to check if all of them are working fine. I hope so. If not, I will update my review.

The case is sturdy and nice for the cost. The options of Chinese, Korean and English subtitles, and audio in Korean or Chinese is great. There are some dvd's that have some video mishaps, but otherwise the copies are decent quality, hence not a 5 star and the captions run too fast and skips at times, but thankfully I know enough Korean to squeak by. I love the series, but I hated not knowing if I was missing parts through streaming. I was, so it's nice to see it. I don't have koreaTV on cable, so this is nice to watch when my hubby ain't home, so he can't complain of my hobby of watching foreign films. :)

Ordered on Monday and received it on Friday. Came sooner than expected. I thought I was buying a region 1 DVD set. Received a Singapore version instead because the US version is out of print. Okay, so I understand that. I am lucky my first language is Korean otherwise I wouldn't be able to understand what the story is. The subtitles mostly are good but sometimes they skip. It is an excellent K-Drama. One of the best out there. However, unless you are fluent in Korean do not buy. Gave 3 stars for skipping subtitles and deceiving customers with region 1 description. Bad business practice.

40% of the first 4 discs had highly pixelized video and audio and skipped. So it was difficult to view and hear what was going on, whether one understands Korean or relies on the English subtitles as we did. I checked and the discs themselves were not scratched so it must be the video recording itself. Packaging was very nice but at this point, I do not care about that if I can view the story!I would recommend buying from another source than this seller.

interesting to learn a bit more about the culture during those times.

i love it i sgot hooked on this from you tube but was unable to see all of it. i ordered this so i could watch the whole thing. the price was right and the videos are so clear. may possibly get another set for my niece as a gift.

I loved it! I loved the whole story of Royal Noble Consort Suk Bin (Dong Yi). While I know some of it is unknown, it is a great story. If anyone likes foreign-language television shows or movies I would highly recommend this. You will laugh, and you will cry and you will cheer people on.

I love this series. It is about a king and his consort and the love they have for each other. The episodes contain suspense, action , drama and tears. Worth every dollar for the box set! You won’t be disappointed!

Best korean TV show ever
